Dear Editor,
I am calling on GEBE to at least explain to residents of Cay Bay why they are still without electricity 6 months after the passing of Hurricane Irma.
We all know of the exceptional job GEBE has done over the past few months, but when speaking to folks in Cay Bay recently, I was caught totally off-guard that they are still without electricity. I think it behooves GEBE to provide an explanation to these citizens about their electricity supply. They haven’t heard anything in quite some time.
I have been told of similar situations elsewhere but have been unable to confirm them as yet. Bottom line is people just appreciate updates. And at this stage, they want a solution. Six months after the storm is a very long time. I’m calling on GEBE to explain and if at all possible expedite its efforts so these good people can get electricity restored sooner rather than later.
